Privacy policy
What we collect, why, and how to make us stop.
Effective 1 November 2026
What we collect
- Analytics: pages viewed, referrer, approximate city, device type. Aggregated and not linked to a person.
- Newsletter: your email address and the date you subscribed. Nothing else.
- Contact form: the name, email, topic and message you type.
- Server logs: IP address and request path, retained for 30 days for security.
What we do not do
- We do not sell reader data. Not to advertisers, not to anyone.
- We do not run third-party ad networks that track you across other sites.
- We do not require an account to read anything.
- We do not use dark patterns to make unsubscribing hard.
Cookies
This site sets no advertising cookies. The only persistent storage is a preference flag if you use the search page, and that stays in your browser.
Your rights
Write to privacy@kansascitynews.com and we will tell you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. We respond within 30 days. If you are in California or the EU, the same address handles access and deletion requests under CCPA and GDPR.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will note it at the top of this page and in the newsletter. The version date above is the one that applies.
